Strokes
Hi pingskills, I have been training for a year now and have been able to get intermediate strokes but my footwork lets me down, how can I improve my footwork? And how can I further improve my strokes.
Hi Virgil,
In our Strokes and Techniques section we have a series on Footwork that will help you.
The main thing to think about initially is to get a good stance and then to focus on how to remain balanced during the movement.
With improvement of your game in general take a look at our Beginner Building Blocks of Table Tennis. This will show you how to move from learning your strokes to be ing able to improve your game play.
In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
